In an alternate slice-of-life universe, the members of Alien Stage run a cozy, eclectic café called Alien Stage. Ivan, the calm and organized manager, works alongside Till, a passionate and slightly chaotic barista. As winter settles in, the café becomes a haven for warmth, comfort, and quiet love.
The story follows the team-Hyuna, Luka, Mizi, Sua, Ivan, and Till-through their everyday lives of brewing coffee, crafting seasonal menus, and growing closer with each passing day. Couples blossom among them: Mizi and Sua share soft affection and spontaneous joy, Hyuna and Luka bring grounded creativity and quiet strength, and Ivan and Till navigate the slow-burn beginnings of a gentle romance filled with glances, late-night work sessions, and shared dreams.
From a surprise visit by a notoriously harsh food critic and his brother to an inspired trip to New York City for the holidays, the café thrives on their bonds and ambitions. Snowstorms, secret Santa gifts, and menu relaunches shape their journey-each event bringing more warmth, laughter, and heart to the found family they've created.
At the heart of it all is a café not just built on good drinks, but on connection, healing, and the magic that happens when people choose to stay.
